The Borough Market is absolutely incredible, we spent hours there. I also recommend taking a river cruise from the Tower of London. Eat at an Ottolenghi restaurant. Go to a Sunday Roast.

I am. We did all the tourist spots and whatnot. Idk what it was but I just loved being in London. Something about the city was captivating.

Name of the donut place is bread ahead. I guess it’s more of a chain now as they got different locations in addition to borough market.

I agree with the HP Studio tour but it is a full day pretty much. Doable if you want to take a day.

Another great option is we did a coach tour to Hampton Court Palace, Stonehenge and Oxford. That was another good use of a day, but still a full day.

We did the London Pass, which gives you admission to a number of attractions, including the hop on / off bus.

Tower of London / Tower Bridge.

Shard is overrated imo

Hamley's Toy Shop

Track 9 3/4 (if HP fans)

Tower of London (get a guided tour) and British Museum are the two musts, IMO
